WS-Reliability 1.1 Standard Approved

OASIS has announced that their WS-Reliability 1.1 standard for reliable messaging using web services has been approved by is members as an OASIS Standard. Here is a description of WS-Reliability 1.1 from the standard document itself:

“WS-Reliability is a SOAP-based ([SOAP 1.1] and [SOAP 1.2 Part 1]) specification that fulfills reliable messaging requirements critical to some applications of Web Services. SOAP over HTTP [RFC2616] is not sufficient when an application-level messaging protocol must also guarantee some level of reliability and security. This specification defines reliability in the context of current Web Services standards. This specification has been designed for use in combination with other complementary protocols (see Section 1.4) and builds on previous experiences (e.g., ebXML Message Service [ebMS].)”
